This is an opportunity for peace that must be seized: Italy, as in the past, is ready to support the diplomatic process towards a comprehensive agreement." This was stated by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, who added: “Italy, as in the past, is ready to support the diplomatic process towards a comprehensive agreement. The principles are clear: Iran cannot acquire nuclear weapons and freedom of navigation must be guaranteed. We are ready, together with our other partners and – the Prime Minister emphasises – subject to the necessary parliamentary authorisation, to contribute to an international naval presence to accompany the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.‘ Meloni concludes: ’Finally, hostilities must also cease in Lebanon, where Italy will continue to work to support Lebanese sovereignty."
